REST API reset password via PTA
Answer ID 10152 |
Last Review Date 03/18/2019
Can I reset contact passwords with REST API when using PTA?
Environment:
Oracle B2C Service May 2016 release and newer
Issue:
I do not receive REST password reset link when PTA is enabled.
Resolution:
When REST "/services/rest/connect/latest/contacts/{id}/resetPassword" is used, PTA is enabled and the configuration setting PTA_IGNORE_CONTACT_PASSWORD is set to value 0, no reset password mail will be received. This is because the standard Customer Portal login functionality is disabled by default.
When REST "/services/rest/connect/latest/contacts/{id}/resetPassword" is used, PTA is enabled and the configuration setting PTA_IGNORE_CONTACT_PASSWORD is set to value 1, the reset password mail will be received, as this qualifies as dual login.
